Deleting Browsing Indexes From the Command
Line
Deleting a browsing index, or virtual list view (VLV) index from the command line
involves two steps:
• Using the
ldapdelete
to delete browsing index entries or edit existing
browsing index entries.
• Running the
vlvindex
script to generate the new set of browsing indexes to be
maintained by the server.
The following sections describe the steps involved in deleting browsing indexes.
Deleting a Browsing Index Entry
Use the
ldapdelete
command-line utility to either delete browsing indexing
entries or edit existing browsing index entries.
To delete browsing indexes for a particular database, you remove your browsing
index entries from the
cn=index,cn= instanceName,cn=ldbm
database,cn=plugins,cn=config
entry, where
cn= instanceName
corresponds to
the name of the database.
For example, you want to delete a browsing index for accelerating
ldapsearch
operations on the entry "
dc=example,dc=com"
held in the
Example1
database
where the search base is
"dc=example,dc=com"
the search filter is
(|(objectclass=*)(objectclass=ldapsubentry))
, the scope is
one
and the
sorting order for the returned attributes is
cn
,
givenname
,
o
,
ou
, and
sn
.
